In a city buffeted by the Chergui a violent wind emanating from the Sahara the investigation becomes a prism through which a group portrait of a working-class district emerges.<br /><br />In <i>Casablanca Story</i> In Koli Jean Bofane trains his razor-sharp observations of a bitter reality and his mordant humor on corruption among the powerful shady property deals and the vulnerable situation of migrants and male sexual desire and he succeeds in transforming a desperate contemporary reality into engrossing and entertaining fiction.<br /><br />Following on from <i>Congo Inc.</i> In Koli Jean Bofane shifts his geographical focus to outline a vision that encompasses both north and sub-Saharan Africans: Africa is moving forward and is the equal of the other continents or to put it another way Africa is no better than they are.</p>
